The wonderful smell of pine trees. The peppermint mocha lattes!  But for every person who’s been waiting all year round to don their overly festive holiday sweater, there’s another who just can’t get into the spirit. Most of us find ourselves falling in the middle, somewhere between Buddy the Elf and the Grinch. But no matter where you fall on the cheer-o-meter, there’s a character to sympathize with on the season’s best movies, shows and TV specials.  Use our Holiday Hero Cheer-O-Meter to find what you’re in the mood to watch this winter:   **![ImOn Cheer-o-meter graphic 1 - B](https://blog.imon.net/hs-fs/hubfs/ImOn%20Cheer-o-meter%20graphic%201%20-%20B.png?width=170&name=ImOn%20Cheer-o-meter%20graphic%201%20-%20B.png)Buddy the Elf – Elf** No one loves Christmas more than Buddy the Elf. He’s got the spirit to turn even the biggest grouch into a true believer of Santa, and the appetite to down an entire tray of sugar cookies—as long as there’s a tall glass of maple syrup to wash it down with! - Family friendly, but still fun for adults - Funny, uplifting  Be sure not to miss one of the most beloved holiday movies of all time! Catch Elf **Saturday, Dec. 1** on AMC 60 (HD 864) at 6PM & 8PM.

But no one can hold a flame to Clark Griswald, who truly goes above and beyond—whether he’s filling every square inch of the house with Christmas lights, or de-squirrelling the living room. - Mostly family friendly (Some adult language and themes) - 90s nostalgia - Quotable moments Take a trip down memory lane and see how much of the movie you can still recite from heart. **Sunday, Dec. 2** on AMC 60 (HD 864) at 5PM & 7:15PM.
